Schumacher Society

Schumacher UK "is named after economist and philosopher Dr. E.F. Schumacher, author of 'Small is Beautiful', 'The Guide for the Perplexed', 'Good Work' and 'This I Believe'. Schumacher is widely acknowledged as the originator of many concepts on the theory and practice of sustainable development...

"Schumacher UK is above all else engaged in educational work. Tangible expressions of this are the Schumacher Lectures, Schumacher Briefings, the Schumacher Book Service, Resurgence Magazine, Green Books Publishing House and Schumacher College.

"The Society is based at the Create Centre in Bristol. It is non-profit-making: any surplus revenues are used to further the aims of Schumacher UK. For much of our work we have been relying on voluntary help. Schumacher UK and six other Schumacher-inspired organisations form the Schumacher Circle: Intermediate Technology Development Group, the Soil Association, the New Economics Foundation, Schumacher College, Green Books, the Centre for Alternative Technology and Resurgence Magazine."
